It was alright in the Lesser Antilles. St Lucia and Martinique were hit by winds of around 30 knots and heavy rain, causing some rivers to overflow.
We were lucky here. The air was dry and there was sand in the atmosphere in the Atlantic when Dorian was approaching, which prevented it from gaining strength before reaching the Antilles. It was just a tropical storm when it arrived. And it was small. I was in Grenada (120 nm SSW of St Lucia), and it didn't rain. The wind shifted very quickly, but it was weaker than usual (5-10 knots), as it happens when you're south of a passing disturbance, where the disturbance's westerlies are cancelled by the easterly trade winds. -Olivier On Mon, Sep 9, 2019, 08:54 Ken Heaton via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Fine up in Cape Breton, sustained winds not much more than 35 - 40 knots > with gusts to 55 overnight. > > A few boats around Baddeck and Little Bras d'Or that were on mooring had > issues‎, either broke free or sank.
